This page lists the main novels that Sookie Stackhouse can be found in and my thoughts on them, there are also a short story or two that Sookie can be found in and it will be listed once I get the chance to read it. Obviously, this page contains spoilers.

Book One - Dead Until Dark

Ooh, very good introduction to the series. I found all the characters very intriguing and enjoy Charlaine's view on vampires. I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series!

Book Two - Living Dead in Dallas

I really enjoyed this one, as much as the first. I enjoy Eric a lot so I was glad we were able to see quite a bit more of him in this book. Also, not a lot of Jason, a plus! As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of him. Although, I do think this book had a few parts that made it not flow as well as the first did so I'll give it a 4/5.

Book Three - Club Dead

Better than the second! I'm really flying through this series, although it is really fantastic, so I blame that. I love the characters and loved seeing more of Eric. As for Bill, eh, I've never been all that keen on him although after this book I really didn't care for him at all. Sookie can do better than that, a relationship with Bill is really not healthy and isn't getting her anywhere. I obviously prefer Eric, although I know she'd probably be in the same kind of situation with him, so Sam it is, or even Alcide who I really enjoyed as well.

Book Four - Dead to the World

Probably my favorite of the series that I've read so far. I find Eric to be very interesting, an Eric with amnesia? Double interesting. I enjoy the vampires so delving into their world once more was a lot of fun. Also, finding out there are more creatures that go bump in the dark in Sookie's world was nice. I enjoyed this different, sweeter, Eric quite a bit and loved the interaction between the two. We didn't have to see a lot of Bill = Good. The disappearance of Jason was an intriguing mystery, even though it was kind of in the back of my mind throughout the book. I liked Jason better in this book than I had in others, as it seemed he did contribute to Sookie's life, rather than seemingly running around town from woman to woman while his sister mops up the mess. It will be interesting to see how everything changes in Sookie's life now, with Eric and with Jason. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Book Five - Dead as a Doornail

Probably one of the weaker of the series. I enjoyed this book although didn't care about the main mystery as much as others. The sniper storyline was okay, although I think it became a little muddled. Although, I did enjoy learning more about the shifter community, I enjoy Alcide quite a bit and didn't "feel" him in this book. He didn't feel like the same character. I enjoy Eric and liked Bill better in this book although they weren't around as much as I would have liked. The Hotshot group is okay, although I am not all that into learning more about them. Hopefully we'll see less of them in the next book!

Book Six - Definitely Dead

(4.5/5) The book started off slow but had a terrific finish. I was a tad confused at first as the first part of the story as I hadn't read the short story that introduced us to the queen, Hadley, and a few other characters, but the story was forgiving to those of us that hadn't and explained everything! I really enjoyed Quinn and am looking forward to finding out more about him. As for Bill, wow, Charlaine really doesn't like him. Hah. I don't think Bill is all bad and I do think he loves Sookie, although with this new revelation I don't think Sookie will ever trust him again. A shame, but ah well. Charlaine introduces a new man into Sookie's life every book it seems like, and I seem to like them all. The main mystery with the queen was interesting and entertaining. I'm glad the Debbie Pelt stuff was put to rest at last, I'm tired of her and her family!

Book Seven - All Together Dead

An interesting book that throws Sookie into the vampire world even more than she already is. Working for the Queen of Louisiana certainly isn't easy, especially since someone is trying to kill her and many of the other vampire's off. What will keep this book memorable is the sharing of blood between Eric and Sookie, once again, which made her blood bound to him. I really love Eric's character (duh) so it will be interesting to see how this affects their relationship. I enjoy Quinn although I felt in this book he was sort of just there, especially towards the end. I'm guessing this means that he'll be taken out of the picture soon enough and that will allow Sookie's attention to be primarily on Eric. I don't mind that a bit, although I think it is interesting that Charlaine constantly adds a new dynamic into Sookie's relationship drama and jerks it away before we even get a chance to savor it. Although, not all is going to be well on the front with Eric, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. The main story of this book was pretty good, although not my favorite in the series. I did enjoy learning more about the vampire world though. :) Overall, a good read.

Book Eight - From Dead to Worse

Aw, so I've read all the books that are out so far in the series, and I have enjoyed them immensely. The characters are well done and very likeable, and the mysteries over all are intriguing. This book built up to an early climax and the remainder of the book was mainly the aftermath. Sophie Anne has died and a hostile takeover forces Eric to bow down to the new King of Louisiana, who also happens to be the King of Nevada. Afterwards, we see how the power shifts in Louisana with the vampires, and also get to see more of Eric and Sookie's blood bond. Eric also finally remembers every detail of their nights together, from Dead to the World. As for the relationship with Quinn, wow that fizzled out even worse than I expected it to. Although, I do understand Sookie's reasoning, she hadn't heard from him in months, he could have at least called her to let her know that he was still among the living. :-/ We get to meet Sookie's mysterious great-grandfather who also happens to be a fairy, and Sookie is also distantly related to Claude and Claudine. This book was a lot about the reveals of Sookie's family members she never knew she had, who all are affected in one way or another by the supernatural. I liked this, although overall I thought the book had quite a bit going on, which is probably because Charlaine opened up a lot of mysteries at the beginning of the book and in the last book and had to put some answers out. I was a tad confused at the end as to who Sookie was going to look for although it was soon cleared up, so Hadley's son is a telepath too, interesting. I wonder if he'll be in any future books, although I'm sure he will. Overall a good book, now to start the waiting game for the next one.
